Yet another CTD thread

[Mummelpuffin]

I know, I know. You've seen them before. But I'm really lost. My game was fine until yesterday, when I

installed "physics impact damage fix", "Improved close-faced helmets", "killing traps", "skyrim heartrate

beta", A Midian Born's "book of silence" textures, "RS Children Overhaul", and Sons of Skyrim Only". Now I have the classic Bethesda logo CTD.

Notes:

 

If I understand the "Troubleshooting FAQ" correctly, this sort of CTD is only caused by a mod not loading a necessary parent file, either due to it missing completely or being in the wrong load order.

 

Looking at the load order again, I feel like DartTrapharder.esp might be a culprit, as it's part of "Killing Traps" yet loads before the main file. The mod author claims load order is not an issue, but I'm not sure if I believe that.

 

RS children overhaul has patches for Dragonborn and Hearthfire, but not Dawnguard. The mod page makes no mention of Dawnguard being incompatible, so I doubt it's an issue.

 

Obviously, I seriously doubt this has anything to do with mods installed before the crashes.

 

Yes, I have set up the memory patch within SKSE. (Give Firstborn to Sheson).

 

I will try to answer any questions you may have. Please ask for more before simply saying "not enough information". Thanks for any help you can give me.

When does your game crash?

 

1. Right after Bethesda logo?

2. While loading a save?

3. Immediately?

 

This will help with finding the problem.

Did you try fixing that? I think the author says "load order doesn't matter" in reference to every other mod not related to his. But a masterfile has to be loaded before every other file that's using the master's ressources. That's a basic law of the engine and might cause exactly your issue.

To find out if it IS a missing master OR out of place loading order, ....

 

Download TES5Edit,,,,install, click OK to what is pre-selected for you. IF it finishes and says..."Background loader finished" then you have NO missing Masters. IF you get an Error,,,that IS the file/'s with missing masters.

 

Download Wrye bash....on the [MODS] tab, missing masters are shown in RED. IF you try to create a Bashed patch it will warn you if you have mods loading in a bad way. IE: masters before the plugins that require the masters.

Guess what? That DartTrapharder.esp was indeed the issue. I suppose I should be a little more confident - If I tried this earlier I wouldn't have posted this topic.
